Urgent help needed

Hi,

I recently upgraded my site to Moodle 2.1.4+, and now equations don't show up. I checked that the Tex filter is activated.

Tex filter debugger gives the following information:

sh: /usr/share/moodle/filter/tex/mimetex.linux: Permission denied
The shell command
"/usr/share/moodle/filter/tex/mimetex.linux" -e "/var/lib/moodle/filter/tex/9608176195573c30c6beb3cf078fdf66.gif" -- '\Large f(x)=\int_{-\infty}^x~e^{-t^2}dt'
returned status = 126
File size of mimetex executable /usr/share/moodle/filter/tex/mimetex.linux is 830675
The file permissions are: 100644
The md5 checksum of the file is 56bcc40de905ce92ebd7b083c76e019e
Image not found!

No text output available

Why the permission  is denied? I didn't mess up with this part.

Now students are all confused and I can't find a way to fix this problemsad.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Luis

Please disregard the message, I already checked in another thread and found out that changing the permission to 755 of the file mimetex.linux solves the problem. I did it and the problem is solved.

Best regards

Luis
